Worth mentioning that firefish is a fork of misskey

it won't be mandatory, unfortunately. Would've loved to see another fediverse mass migration

Is there any way to make the GTK file picker's search faster? (lemmy.world)
 

I've given up on trying to use the QT file picker everywhere, as theming and image previews are broken when I try to do it on NixOS, so now I want to improve the GTK file picker.

And so I ask, is there any way or extension to make the search faster?

Should I be saying the words out loud when doing Anki? (lemmy.world)
 

I've been doing it since day one, but I fear that if I don't do it carefully enough, it might cripple my accent later on.

Also, saying the words out loud kind of demotivates me from doing anki as it's a lot more work and gets stressful since I don't want to pick up bad speaking habits, so not saying words out loud would actually be a relief, but I want to do what is most optimal for learning.

LF: Android manga reader that includes image upscaling/noise reduction (lemmy.world)
 

I read manga on the Hisense Touch which has a somewhat small screen, making it very hard to read some manga. At first, I thought the Touch just had really bad display sharpness but then I realized most scans are just too low-res.

For some manga, I need to hold my phone like 2 inches away from my eyes which is horrible and very damaging for my eyesight, so I was wondering if there's a manga reader app out there that upscales manga/reduces noise as you read (using something like waifu2x)

I found this feature request for Tachiyomi but it was quickly turned down and as such my expectations are quite low, but I figured I'd ask anyway

Best distro to turn my old laptop into a server? (lemmy.world)
 

I have an old laptop that I want to turn into a server, but I want it to be as seamless as possible. I don't have any knowledge in web hosting, so I'll use whatever distribution makes it easiest.

Also willing to venture outside of Linux territory to try those NAS-like operating systems. I just want things to work.

I called it old, but the laptop in question actually has decent specs. I want to host a personal searx instance, a forum, nextcloud, and, well, I'd also like to run single-user fediverse instances but I heard that they're very hard to manage and update so I'm still not sure about that.

Archive.org has an extension that automatically downloads web pages you visit (lemmy.world)
 

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wayback-machine/fpnmgdkabkmnadcjpehmlllkndpkmiak

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/wayback-machine_new/

It will also detect when a webpage you are trying to visit is dead and will offer to replay an archived version

So how long until the Fediverse is monetized? in c/[email protected]

Sounds like Microsoft's embrace, extend, and extinguish

I’m a teenage FOSS enthusiast and I’m of the opinion that there are a lot more of us here than you seem to all think.
